Since that period coal has been found near Talcahuano and at Valdivia, on the coast of Chili; on the island of Chiloe, and on that of San Lorenzo, opposite to Lima; in the valley of Tambo, near Islay; at Guacho, and even further down on the coast of Guayaquil. Mr Scarlett quotes a letter from the Earl of Dundonald.
Had he by chance caught sight of young Harald of Islay standing apart on the heights the matter had needed no deep questioning.
This kind of dog prevails in the greater part of the Western Islands of Scotland, and some of them, where the hair has obtained its full development, are much admired. Her Majesty had one from Islay, a faithful and affectionate creature, yet with all the spirit and determination that belongs to his breed.
The south-western Highlands, from Lochaber to Islay and Cantyre, were, in his reign, the scene of constant clan feuds and repressions, resulting in the fall of the Macdonalds, and the rise of the Campbell chief, Argyll, to the perilous power later wielded by the Marquis against Charles I. Many of the sons of the dispossessed Macdonalds, driven into Ireland, were to constitute the nucleus of the army of Montrose.
He was pausing to say good-night, confused, troubled by what he had heard, feeling he must confess his own regard for the girl and not let this comparative stranger so buoyantly outdo him in admiration. "Now," said he, hesitating, "what would you think I was in Glen Shira myself for?" "Eh?" said Young Islay, scarcely hearing, and he hummed the refrain of the lady's song.
Into the room stepped the General, never knowing he had come upon a storm. Their silence surprised him. He looked suspiciously at the lad, who still stood on the floor with his hat in his hand. "You're not going yet, Islay?" said he, and there was no answer. "Have you two quarrelled?" he asked, again glancing at his daughter's averted face. Young Islay stammered his reply.
The sour old remnants do I not know them? Grant me patience with them!" "It was General Turner's word," said Gilian, utterly unconsoled, and he wondered for a moment to see her flush. "He might have had a kinder thought," said she, "with his own affairs, as they tell me, much ajee, and Old Islay pressing for his loans.
She ran light-footed, laughing in her sudden ease of mind, and on the more distant of the two slopes of Cruach-an-Lochain, antlers rose inquiring; then a red deer looked and listened, forgetting to crop the poor grass at his feet. For a second or two Young Islay paused, wondering at her caprice; then he caught the spirit of it and followed with a halloo.
They set sail again through the long Sound of Jura, with the islands now on their right hand and the gray hills of Cantyre on their left. So they passed Jura, and later Islay, and came at last under the cliffs of Rathlin and the white Antrim headlands.
'A scholarlike knowledge of Maori or Hottentot mythology' was also beyond him. From them we flatter ourselves that we get as from Grimm, Mannhardt, Islay, and the rest mythology in situ. We compare it with the dry mythologic blossoms of the classical hortus siccus, and with Greek ritual and temple legend, and with Marchen in the scholiasts, and we think the comparisons very illuminating.
